Agreed, and it’s part of what makes it such a great article. Housing is incredibly complicated since it’s something that everyone needs no matter who they are or what their ability levels may be. We need to see it in all its complication.
This guy messed up, and he admits that, though perhaps he may have trouble understanding that. He has little to no safety net, a minimal income, and yet needs a place to live like everyone else.
I think you’re right: we need to think about housing more holistically. We need to think about how to support people who may have a diminished capacity, who may be disruptive to the community. Because they all need a place to live, even the most difficult cases, just like everyone else.

Amen to all of this. One of my biggest problems with the GOP. Only place to live they are giving away is in a jail cell.

Considering most prisons you have to pay for the "privilege"; not even that is free anymore.

Yes. The GOP is responsible for landlords in DEEP blue Vermont...
